Breakfast on the banks of the Zambezi!

This May East Coast Radio will be broadcasting live from the Victoria Falls in Zambia, as part of the African Renaissance Festival. The 14th annual African Renaissance Festival is being held in Durban this week and aims to connect Africa to secure the continent’s future. 

As part of the celebration East Coast Radio presenter Darren Maule will be strengthening ties beyond our borders when he broadcasts live from the Royal Livingstone Hotel in Zambia on the 24th and 25th of May. Darren and the Breakfast Stack producer George Thorne will connect with another part of Africa by sampling some of the local cuisine, soaking up the culture and relishing in new experiences. Amongst other things they will mingle with the locals, experience an elephant back safari and get to witness Victoria Falls in all its glory.

The people of Zambia have been warned; Darren will no doubt also get up to his usual mischief and has packed his unique sense humour in with the rest of his luggage. Listen out to the Breakfast Stack between 06h00 and 09h00 on Thursday and Friday this week to hear more about their Zambian adventure!

Movie Review - The Avengers

Popped over to Ster Kinekor Gateway to view this movie.   Based on the Comic Book series

from Marvel Comics this features a team of superheroes who band together to fight 

a bigger evil that none of them can handle on their own.  However together they form

a formidable team.  What a team it is.   We have Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) 

The Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans),

Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) together they have to 

fight the evil Loki (Tom Hiddleston).  Along the way you will find many characters that have popped up in other Marvel movies.  Look out for a great cameo by the legendary actor Harry Dean Stanton.  The team are led by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).  Can they defeat the evil Loki?

To find that out you will have to see the movie.  There are some wonderful special effects in this movie and one can see why it is still sitting on top at the box office.

Rating 10/10

Review of the Show Out Of Bounds starring Rajesh Gopie

We present a Review of the Show Out Of Bounds Starring Rajesh Gopie.

                                                 @OutOfBoundsSA

Last night I was invited to the show Out Of Bounds at the delightful iZulu Theatre at Sibaya
Casino.

What a delightful venue and I joined some great friends like Themi Venturas and James P Parker
and Illa Thompson to watch the show.

Rajesh Gopie the man who brought us The Coolie Odyssey is back with his one hander
Out Of Bounds.

He has performed it before and this is the first time I have seen it.

He takes you on a wonderful journey of a Indian family and how they move about Durban
from their homes to forced removals into flats and the wonderful characters they meet along
the way.

Rajesh is simply brilliant as he plays well over 20 characters some dark some light, some funny some
scary.

There are some wonderful scenes in it.  I shall not spoil it for you, you really have to go see it yourself.

A note for actors, if you want to learn how to play different characters take yourself off to the show
to see how a master actor does this.

Well worth a visit

Rating 5/5
